As Michael Tomasky has said:
The Republicans are controlled by three factions: the neocons, who run foreign policy; the theocons, who call the shots on social policy; and the radical anti-taxers, who dictate fiscal and regulatory policy.
And they might choose McCain as their candidate.
Which shows just how far the neocons, theocons and radical anti-taxers are from voters.
No wonder they have no love for democracy.

If, by “they”, you mean the Republican establishment, then I’m not sure you’ve got that right.
McCain relies overwhelmingly on independents - of the three branches of the the G.O.P., only neocons have any liking for him.
So - in Michigan. Low independent turn-out, McCain loses.
The general public wants him; the voters don’t.
Even: the general public want him; Republicans don’t.
Sorry!
That was my point
The Republicans have to choose a candidate who they don’t like to appeal to the voters at large.
